Atypical corneal manifestation of sterile inflammatory infiltrates after alkali ocular burn

“…The epithelium may or may not be intact and patients often complain of ocular discomfort, photophobia, and tearing. In many cases, infiltrates have an immune origin, necessitating a differential diagnosis of bacterial keratitis [3] . The patient in this study was a administere broad-spectrum antibiotic eye drops initiated after the occurrence of ocular burns due to lime exposure.…”

“…In addition to injuring the ocular surface, alkalis can penetrate the eye, damaging the corneal stroma and endothelium as well as other structures within the anterior segment, such as the iris, lens, and ciliary body [1,2] . Sterile corneal infiltrates are commonly observed in contact lens users and rarely reported in cases of chemical ocular burns, which can be mistaken for infectious infiltrates [3] . The objective of this study was to report an atypical manifestation of sterile infiltrates following a case of chemical ocular burns.…”

Study of the Effectiveness of Multipurpose Solutions on the Bacterial Disinfection of Silicone Hydrogel Contact Lenses In Vitro

“…It is important to consider that bacterial adherence is influenced by the properties of the CL surface, which modifies the composition of the tear-absorbed elements, such as proteins and multipurpose solutions. 30 For example, a study showed that P. aeruginosa could help to provide colonization of contact lens surfaces in presence of dying neutrophils in vitro. They show that commercial contact lens care solutions fail to fully remove cellular debris from contact lens surfaces using recommended rub and rinse cleaning practices, and this residual debris may represent a new risk factor for microbial recolonization of CL.…”
